February 23 - Day of creation of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Tajikistan. The armed forces of the Republic of Tajikistan were born in the period of independence and were created in difficult conditions, when the country was not in a state of instability due to the worsening political, economic and social situation, and there were few professional military personnel in the country. Tajikistan began to create its own armed forces. However, there was no material and technical base for its creation, which meant that the organization of our National Army started from scratch.
On 19 February 2025, the state institution "Republican Oncological Research Centre" of the Ministry of Health and Social Protection of the Population of Tajikistan held a ceremony of handing over modern digital X-ray diagnostic equipment. The equipment was provided with the assistance of the Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Safety and Security Agency of the National Academy of Sciences of Tajikistan, which is the NLO office of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in Tajikistan.
National security in any country is unthinkable without a strong and well-trained army. In the context of modern challenges, including global and regional threats such as terrorism, the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, and transnational crime, the scientific and educational support of the armed forces plays a crucial role. The Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Safety and Security Agency of the National Academy of Sciences of Tajikistan makes a significant contribution to strengthening the country defense capability by providing training to specialists capable of effectively countering modern challenges and threats.
On February 15, 2025, an official ceremony was held at the Oncology Center of the Sughd Region under the Ministry of Health and Social Protection of the Population of the Republic of Tajikistan to present a modern Digital X-ray machine.

The national army is one of the main pillars of any independent state. Throughout human history, the role of the national army has been crucial not only in protecting state borders but also in maintaining internal peace and stability. For the Tajik nation, the national army is not only a means of safeguarding national independence but also a symbol of bravery, patriotism, and loyalty to the homeland.
